I not regulators should be able to choose the public investments that are right for me and my family. Public investments should be available to all of the public, not just the privileged.

This is America - the land of the free and home of the brave, NOT the land of the oppressed and home of the coddled.

I shouldn't have to go through any special process
like passing a test before I can invest in public securities,
like leveraged and inverse funds.
I am capable of understanding leveraged and inverse funds
and their risks. I do not
need these measures imposed on me.

Individuals should maintain the right to choose the investments that they wish to pursue. Imposing regulations stymies innovation, entrepreneurship and wealth creation. Interest in Crypto is going to increase, and presents an opportunity for investors to increase their personal and retirement wealth. The more options available to investors, the better.

With the availability of information over the internet it is no longer reasonable to think that investors are not educated in all aspects of funds trading. Last year a group of talented amateurs was able to commit a short squeeze against major bank holdings that were too sure of their own intelligence. This clearly follows that basis to protect vested corrupt interest to the detriment of the individual investor through government overreach. This proposal is clearly too wide as it would encompass as "complex" a large percentage of the industry.

To whom it may concern,
I am sick and tired of government intervention in Americans daily lives. The excuse is always that

Leveraged and inverse funds help me hedge my personal portfolio. They are an integral part of my investment strategy.

I have been trading stocks for 40 years and do NOT need FINRA telling me what I can and cannot invest in.

Stop now

You should be able to invest in whatever you want too!!!!!!

Our family has successfully used leveraged and inverse funds over two decades helping us obtain enhanced returns. They are a limited, but very important, part of our overall portfolio.

Regulating the stocks and investments the average American can invest in is the most asinine ideas I have ever heard. The fact that in order to trade a "complex product" I would need to take test and read certain materials, be wealthy, and get special approval from a broker is the worst form of gatekeeping. Not only would you be stopping a large amount of people from investing in certain stocks because you believe them to be to stupid, you would also likely drive many people to sell their stocks and leave the market entirely out of fear that they may not be qualified to continue to invest.
